I'll try the brushes first, and clean the armature, cables, and look it over.
Thanks for the help.
If I can't get it going soon I’ll just go with the 12-volt conversion. Don, on the way home from getting a police check, after which the car wouldn't start I thought it was low on gas so I stopped to put some fuel in. A guy was looking at my car and said he knew where one was for sale. I ended up buying a 4 door 50 Ford that is really nice, or I should say before the young guy wanted a chopped top. That car fires right up, when I went to see it the thing was spinning over like crazy, the guy had unhooked some wires that the previous owner had flamethrowers on. When we got the right wires on it fired up. I always wanted to cut a top but couldn't bring myself to make the first cut. This car is cut so now I'm going to make it a 2 door Carson topped car hopefully.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
